Our Experience
 


Deborah Chappell heads up the team, leading from the front with 20 years experience

Deborah Chappell“I began my career in private practice, then moved to the legal departments of Barclays Bank followed by Avon Cosmetics. Looking for a new challenge, I went on to set up the Charity Departments for two large legal firms. Finally, in 2005 I set up my own consultancy and as a non practicing solicitor use my skills to put something ‘back’.

“That said, the operational and management experience I gained in large organisations has been invaluable. It’s taught me about getting the basics right when choosing the correct structure for your organisation – because if you get your structure right, you increase your efficiency, avoid extravagant mistakes, ease funding pressures and reduce insurance costs. And we all want that.

“But I’ve also discovered a passion for demystifying legalese. At CHAPPELL ASSOCIATES, we are at pains to use plain English in all the documents we prepare, so that they’re valuable management tools everyone can understand. We can’t see the point in finding the money to bring in an expert, just for their words to languish on the shelf ignored and gathering dust…

“Together, CHAPPELL ASSOCIATES will identify your key priorities and help you build an action plan for these and a timetable for tackling the less urgent issues. We will work flexibly and methodically with you, offering advice by phone, email, home and committee visits – even by post! And, as problems always seem to crop up at the most inconvenient moments, we also make ourselves available to you over evenings and weekends – especially by phone. We believe you shouldn’t have to wait ages for legal and business advice. With CHAPPELL ASSOCIATES you won’t!
 

In short, Chappell Associates prides itself on giving appropriate advice,
On time and within budget.
